According to the serial number this chrono should be a 1952. Should it still have square pushers? Shouldn't the case back be round? Also the hands look unlike any other I have seen on a Breitling. Case is 38mm, movement is Venus 175.

What do you think?

a lot is weird about this one, but square pushers have been around until the mid/late 1960s.

At best, yes. Caseback engraving could be simply added, but I think that this is an assembly.
